I am currently a Ph.D. student (Under Examination) in the Centre for Autonomous Systems at University of Technology Sydney, Australia. I am working with Professor Sarath Kodagoda and Distinguished Professor Gamini Dissanayake on a research topic, “Robust Sensor Technologies Combined with Smart Predictive Analytics for Hostile Sewer Infrastructures”.

I enjoy collaborating with researchers from diverse spectrum to foster new skills and solve new challenges. Currently, my doctoral dissertation is part of a water industry led collaborative project, “ Predictive Analytics for Sewer Corrosion”, involving 4 government-owned water utilities, federal government agency for scientific research and 2 research organizations.

My research vision focuses to strive for excellence in delivering real-world industry outcomes through scientific advancements in sensing technologies, with the focus on machine learning and its applications in robotic systems. Currently, my research is centred around the development of robust sensing technologies for urban infrastructure asset monitoring applications. I employ non-destructive measurement methods and combination of machine learning techniques for developing sensing technologies.
